About This Service
Why Self-Leveling Concrete?
Self-leveling concrete is a floor coating applied on concrete floors to produce a durable, beautiful flooring surface that is low in maintenance. The coating evenly spreads out and fills the chips and cracks in damaged concrete, creating a flat, smooth surface with minimal effort. Self-leveling concrete is a polymer-adjusted, high-flowing material that requires less water and manual labor than standard concrete while being structurally as strong or even stronger than regular cement, achieving compressive strength over 5,000 PSI. The composition contains approximately 15 ingredients including fine aggregate (sand), furnace slag cement, gypsum, Portland cement, cement plasticizer, and vinyl polymer. Water comprises 12 to 23 percent of the weight of the mixture. This advanced formula sets in as little as 6 hours, is walkable in 2-4 hours, and can be applied up to 3 inches thick. The material is shrink-proof and crack-proof, making it the ideal solution for damaged and cracked concrete floors in manufacturing plants, warehouses, commercial parking structures, malls, retail stores, showrooms, schools, and hospitals. Self-leveling epoxy and concrete overlays offer a range of special features including self-healing technology, electrostatic discharge protection, extreme temperature resistance, antimicrobial properties, and UV-stable non-yellowing formulas. The finished surface can incorporate colored glass pieces to mimic a decorative terrazzo floor at a fraction of the cost, or serve as a perfectly smooth substrate for hardwood, carpet, tile, or any other flooring material you choose to install on top.

Step by Step
Our Self-Leveling Concrete Process
Slab Assessment
We evaluate the existing floor for levelness, moisture content, and structural integrity. Self-leveling concrete requires a clean, dry surface for proper installation, so we determine what preparation will be needed for optimal results.
Surface Preparation
Grinding, shot blasting, and thorough cleaning to remove all contaminants and create an optimal bonding surface. All existing coatings, debris, and loose material must be removed. The surface must be completely dry before application.
Primer Application
Specialized primer is applied to create an optimal bonding surface between the existing concrete and the self-leveling overlay. This critical step ensures long-term adhesion and prevents delamination.
Self-Leveling Pour
Precision-mixed overlay is poured and spreads to a perfectly level surface automatically through its high-flowing polymer composition. The material has a limited open time of 17-25 minutes before hardening begins, requiring experienced installers for flawless results. Maximum thickness is 3 inches per pour.
Finish Application
Once cured, the surface can be left as a standalone floor, polished to a high sheen, stained with decorative colors, coated with epoxy, or used as a smooth substrate for hardwood, carpet, or tile. Colored glass pieces can be incorporated to mimic decorative terrazzo at a fraction of the cost.

“Our old warehouse floor was a disaster -- uneven, cracked, impossible to roll anything across. SS Concrete poured a self-leveler and it's perfectly flat now. Game changer.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about epoxy flooring, concrete polishing, or our process? Here are the answers.
Self-leveling concrete can be applied up to 3 inches maximum thickness per pour. Typical applications range from 1/4 inch to 1 inch depending on the unevenness of the existing floor. Thicker pours are possible for severely damaged floors.
